Packing options
Packing features are available for reducing the size of result files, confusing crackers who use generic unpackers, and enhancing protection against hacking attempts. We recommend packaging applications after protecting them as they not only strengthen your program's security but also reduce its file size when distributing it over the internet.
The following options are available:
- Compress resources
This option allows you to compress both the program and resource sections, especially useful for Delphi programs.
- Optimize and rebuild exe file
This option optimizes the sizes of various sections in the executable file as well as PE headers after packing. It is highly recommended that you enable this option.
Also packing allows you to deceive hacking tools that determine the original compiler used for compiling your program, thus adding an extra layer of security.
